Last week, we were honoured to receive two Social Sustainability Awards for our responsible management of ICT waste. 💻♻️   As part of rolling out the new R10 cash register software at Kruidvat Nederland, we replaced all cash register hardware. Our commitment to sustainability means we’ve disposed of this hardware in a way that prioritizes reuse and the recovery of raw materials. 🌍   These awards are not just a recognition of our policies, but a reflection of how deeply we value Corporate Social Responsibility. It’s proof that small steps in a company as large as AS Watson can have a big impact. 🙌   🏆 First Award: We achieved significant CO2 savings, reducing 2,742,629 kg of CO2! 🏆 Second Award: For our Social Return on Investment (SROI), we contributed 1,054.9 hours of work, providing opportunities to individuals distanced from the labour market.   We’re also proud to share that 82% of our waste has been repurposed! 💪   This achievement shows that sustainability is not just a goal for us—it's ingrained in everything we do. 🌿   #Sustainability #CSR #SocialImpact #SustainableBusiness #ASWatson #Kruidvat #CO2Savings

To support youngsters in pursuing their careers, we hosted an informative session for students at The Hang Seng University of Hong Kong on enhancing their job hunting success.   During this engaging talk, students discovered how to build their own brand to maximise opportunities in a competitive market. They gained insight into decoding the application and interview process, and explored careers that align with their personalities and aspirations.   We are dedicated to nurturing young talent and equipping them with the tools they need to excel in their careers. We look forward to witnessing how they apply what they’ve learned and make their mark in their future endeavors.   #ASWatson #BeRemarkable #BeYourself
